My Story

Our baby girl so tragically taken, just 17mins after birth. Born by csection after being diagnosed with a rare brain tumor (glioblastoma Multiforme) at 33.5 weeks into the pregnancy.

To my sweet baby girl

From the moment Daddy and I found out we were expecting a little girl we named you “Lily May”. Lily meaning flower, innocent and beautiful, came from your Daddy’s mum “Lillian” who we know is taking care of you. “May” your middle name means brightness after your Nanny “Sharyn May”

As a family, your daddy, Brother Jesse and I waited so patiently for your birth, to meet our baby girl, to hold you, to love you, to see you smile and cry, and to watch you grow.

Instead we only have memories of your beautiful little face, holding you which only seemed like moments, and then saying our final goodbye knowing we can only visit you in our dreams.

My sweet “Lily May” although you are a special individual, I want you to know that you share and take with you a part from each of us. You have your father’s eyes, ears and tiny dimple chin. You have your brother’s cute looks, his petite thin lips, beautiful soft skin and crooked little pinkie fingers. Your nanna’s famous big toe and your mummy’s blonde hair and button nose.

As your Mummy I will always remember you in my heart (baby girl) and carry with me your birthing scar on my tummy. But rather than be sad, I promise to reflect on your birth and death as a happy, peaceful moment we shared together.

Baby girl, I will treasure the memory of every special Mother and daughter moment we had. I would like family and friends to know, to symbolize our special bond, you are my beautiful butterfly and by night my shinning star.

I will miss you, now fly free my sweet baby girl, fly free

Love you always “Lily May” sending you Butterfly kisses Mummy XXX.
